We believe that online gambling at Hammerting should be secure, honest, and — above all else — a good time.
Therefore, our goal is to offer content that Canadian players deserve: real casino reviews, verified insights, and relevant advice — all expressed in clear, human language.
We want to help you play smarter, understand the odds, and avoid falling into the traps of misleading advertising.
Whether you’re spinning slots in Ontario or trying out live dealer tables in BC, we hope that before each game begins, you’ll feel informed and confident.
Hammerting.com aims to become Canada’s most trusted reference point for online casino reviews — where ethics come first, and fun follows naturally.
Our Story
Hammerting began in 2022, but its roots go back nearly a decade earlier.
Our founder, Tyler Grant, a Toronto-born journalist and iGaming reviewer, spent years writing for major platforms like Casino.org, Better Collective, AskGamblers.com, and CasinoGuru.
During those years, Tyler realized something troubling: too many “reviews” were written by people who had never played the games or withdrawn their own winnings. Readers were being sold excitement — not facts.
That frustration sparked an idea:
“What if there was a site that told the truth — no fluff, no bias, no scripts — just real Canadian players sharing what actually happens when you hit that ‘Deposit’ button?”
So in 2022, Tyler left his corporate content role, registered a small independent platform, and turned Hammerting.cominto a project built on three promises:
- Every casino is tested manually (yes, we make real deposits).
- Every review is written in plain English, not corporate jargon.
- Every opinion is honest, even if it costs us a partnership.
Who We Serve
Hammerting is made for Canadian players — from Toronto to Vancouver, Halifax to Edmonton.
We focus on those who want to gamble responsibly, understand licensing and regulation, and find trusted online casinos that actually deliver on their promises.
Our coverage aligns with Canadian iGaming frameworks, including:
- Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO)
- iGaming Ontario
- Canadian Gaming Association
- Responsible Gambling Council
We serve:
- Casual players — who want entertainment, not empty promises.
- Experienced gamblers — looking for deeper analysis and payout insights.
- Industry watchers — tracking fairness, licensing, and operator behaviour.
Our Services and Benefits
We’re not a casino — and we don’t sell spins.
We review, analyze, test, and explain.
Here’s what makes us stand out:
- Independent Reviews: We test real Canadian casinos from registration to withdrawal.
- Practical Guides: Articles on bonuses, bankroll management, responsible gambling, and how to read wagering terms.
- Regulatory Awareness: All reviews reference official frameworks like AGCO and iGaming Ontario.
- Transparency-First Approach: No paid placements, no hidden affiliate incentives.

Each review is checked for accuracy and updated when casinos change policies or ownership.
